HONDA/ACURA FAULT CODE DEFINITIONS
IMPORTANT: Retrieving and utilizing Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs) for troubleshooting vehicle operation problems is
only one part of an overall diagnostic strategy. Never replace a
part based solely on the DTC definition. Always consult the
vehicle’s service manual for more detailed testing instructions.
Each DTC has a set of testing procedures, instructions and flow
charts that must be followed to confirm the exact location of the
problem. This type of information is found in the vehicle’s
service manual.
